Yeah, it's been around; Bill had a good summary, but I think we should give the current owner a brake 
I would recommend a Carfax report. Just in case the guy left anything out.
Questions for the seller;
3 New Tires = all have less then 100 miles & full tread. The 4th had a leak, and it sat on the rim too long.
?? So these "new" tires are only 7 years old? How long is too long to sit on a rim? How old were these new tires when you first bought them?
New Alternator = Needs to be exchanged for FREE at PepBoys or AutoZone... I have the receipt & life time warranty card.
?? So I guess Pep Boys won't care if you bought the alternator at Autozone, or vice versa?
New Battery, like 1 month of use, but sitting since Dec. 2011
?? So this "new" battery is only 6.5 years old?
New under carriage paint = Under the truck, it looks like a show car. I stopped driving it in Dec 2011, + painted the entire under-carriage from front to rear bumper to prevent and stop any rust because I knew it would be sitting for a long time. Every inch of metal, rubber, wires, break lines, fuel lines, frame, wheel well is painted new underneath the truck. I am very glad that I did this, because there is no rust at all.
?? You painted all the rubber and wires too? Did you paint the wires the original color?
Breaks @ 80,000, $130,000, + 180,000
?? Do you guarantee that the brakes won't break? Do you guarantee that the breaks will still brake?
